Building Strength for Decades to Come
Strength training is essential for any age and any goal in life, and it is crucial for a healthy lifestyle. Whether you have never lifted weights before, are looking to have a plan walking into the gym, are currently an athlete, or are looking to thrive into your midlife and beyond, I am here to help you. It's important to provide the appropriate stimulus to our muscles to see true results. And honestly, you need to lift heavy - just make sure you're doing it safely! I can help provide a plan that focuses on building a foundation that moves you toward progressive overload, builds your confidence with lifting weights, and helps achieve your goals through the most personalized training experience possible. Optimizing your health is more than just doing going to the gym - it's how you handle stress, what you eat, how you digest food, how you feel, your workouts, and how you sleep. I will help coach you on all aspects of your lifestyle with weekly check-ins in order to optimize your health in the months and years to come. It's not about implementing habits for short term goals, but making the habits permanent for improved longevity and thriving for the decades to come. Whether you workout at home, in the gym, or on the road - I can help you with your strength training journey. I will be there to coach you on your form, check in with video calls, to celebrate your wins, and to help you in improving lifestyle changes.
